I need love stories.
Real stories, fiction stories. Stories about lovers in disagreement because one of them wants to make a personal sacrifice and the other refuses to let it happen.
While writing some of the more emotionally wrecking scenes in the novel, I asked Adam what he would do if I ever decided to sacrifice myself for a greater good. He said he would do whatever he had to do to stop me, and if that didn't work, he would follow me to hell, so to speak. He would sacrifice himself with me.
The love story of Dana and Ian is, in my mind, epic, because it has been unfolding in my writerbrain for nine years, and even more years under the guise of other characters.
I am in a bit of a rut, however. Not with their story, but the surrounding story. The story of Jeremy wanting Dana for himself, whether or not it results in the death of anyone. Of Ian wanting to take on Jeremy, of Dana wanting to do it all herself, of Kara and Alex trying to find a way to help without the tensions causing annihilation. This is an entire world at stake, an entire reality, all existence. They are stubborn. They are self-sacrificing.
Sometimes having an overactive writerbrain with overbearing characters is painful.
